It takes small but conscious, consistent efforts over a period of time for an organisation to become truly inclusive. It is a combined outcome of leadership vision, changing mindsets, physical and technical interventions brought to life by many champions and allies of the cause.
I was amazed to experience a few of these myself when I joined Accenture a month ago. Here are some highlights that touched me:
1. Lift buttons in the office premises in Braille
2. Posters with important messages and call outs at each desk in Braille
3. Accessible washrooms in the office. (Well as an architect, I do have a pov that all washrooms should be designed to make universally accessible to make it truly inclusive, rather than having a separate one, but yes every step matters and this one is big!)
4. Last and the most amazing was to see an instructor in sign language (ASL) along with the main trainer during a company-wide workshop to ensure that the training is inclusive for all participants.
